Abstract
Backscatter at the basal epithelial cell layer measured by IVCM predicts the need for EK after cataract surgery in patients with FECD. As an indicator for the corneal hydration state, the EV improves patient selection for combined cataract surgery and EK. In deciding whether to perform a triple procedure, CCT remains a less effective, but adequate, alternative. Regardless of the predictive factor used, a tailor-made approach is recommended accounting for individuals' expectations.
